Noarm getting ready for #DCRESIDENCE
The Vagabonds of VESTIBULE are pleased to present their latest temporary exhibition, hosted by The Parlour from November 7 through 11 as part of #DCRESIDENCE @DCWEEK. The opening reception will be held on Monday, November 7, from from 8pm to 10pm.
Mind Altering Space is a video exhibition curated by local artist and DC native Joseph Orzal, featuring eight undergraduate students from the Corcoran College of Art + Design. Each work is loosely based on the idea of a person’s mindset directly altering the space around them. Whether this change comes from a dream-like place, one of mental instability, or is a reaction to society and politics, each work invites the viewer to an environment unlike that of the mundane day to day. The show features the work of:
This work of simultaneously playing videos offer a view of the artist’s life as dictated by his daily routines. The act of repetitive processes as a means for depression and vice versa is explored.
Using environment and symbols, this work explores the ideas of God’s presence in the everyday.
Psychedelic portraits show how arcane symbols from an individual’s everyday life can, when ritualized, manifest and act as a personal diety.
The construction of a sanctuary by the elder will leave the young with a safety net as they move forward.
The notion of materialism transforms an interior space. Dreamlike flashes to a night scene questions the actual value of money and if its value is simply a mental construct.
Internal conflict in the domestic setting leads a woman to destroy a part of herself.
Consumption and regurgitation are tools in which to portray the female experience. Spatial conflicts between interior and exterior personify social critique and judgement.
YOU ARE INVITED TO THE #DCRESIDENCE @DCWEEK OPEN HOUSE PARTY
1629 L St NE 6pm - 9pm
This Saturday, November 5 from 6:00pm to 9:00 pm is our Open House Party, the official launch party for THE HOME — a two-day showcase of local indie fashion, emerging arts, and DIY retail as part of #DCRESIDENCE @DCWEEK. This exhibition will activate three empty storefronts at 1629 L Street NE, transformed into the following:
• “The Study” by Birds of a Pleather — a hub designed by the Birds of a Pleather collective (formerly with Worn Magazine) for taking a pseudo-sociological look at bringing communities together via identity, as examined through the lens of fashion and the way we present ourselves externally
• “The Pantry” — the official pop-up shop of #DCRESIDENCE, starring these local DIY retailers selling swag
• “The Icebox” by The Fridge — featuring a special exhibition called “Leftovers” and curated by Alex Goldstein, gallery director for The Fridge
